These Black Tattoos Resemble Drawings from an Artist's Sketchpad

Tokyo, Japan-based tattoo artist Chisato Chavo has such a unique style that drawings from her sketchpad are good enough to go directly onto human skin as creative black tattoos.

Working out of the Black Ink Power tattoo studio, Chavo's unique tattoo work may resemble the appearance of a rough initial sketch, but displays an underlining attention to abstract detail that makes for a striking body art design. Each of her unique pieces are done in stark black ink, and display elements found in the artistic schools of both Cubism and Dadaism.

The topics of these sketch-inspired black tattoos range, but the naturalistic world seem to be a recurring theme throughout. To be able to convey so much with so little certainly highlights the skill involved in Chavo's work.
